spec-to-code-compliance

To audit smart contracts against specification documentation, compare the documented invariants, math, and security guarantees directly against the protocol implementation to identify compliance gaps. This process requires accessing both the codebase and the design docs to trace workflow flows accurately across contracts.

Spec-to-code compliance verification for blockchain protocols is the process of ensuring that a codebase strictly implements the documented specification. It traces invariants, math, and security guarantees across contracts to confirm no gaps exist between design docs and implementation.

Tracing security invariants across a blockchain codebase during a review involves comparing the documented security guarantees against the actual contract logic. This compliance audit maps specification requirements to the implementation to verify adherence and identify deviations.

Yes, comparing protocol specs to source code can generate evidence-backed mappings with exact quotes and line references for every claim. This structured intermediate representation provides precise citations and confidence scores for each identified alignment or gap.

To run a spec-to-code alignment check, you need to provide access to a repository containing both the documentation specification and the smart contract code. The workflow uses both inputs to generate structured alignment reports for review.
